“The hardest part is first few episodes where she was just the most basic version of herself,” the actress told The News.

“She’s just helpful, informative, nonjudgemental, unflappable Janet.”

As for that wild twist at the end of the first season, she was as surprised as you were; while Danson and co-star Kristen Bell knew from the time they were cast, Carden, Manny Jacinto, Jameela Jamil and William Jackson Harper found out halfway through filming.

Schur, she said, felt bad about keeping the secret for so long.

“It made our jobs so much easier,” Carden said. “We played what we knew was real. Then when i turned out that was not real, it was too late to go back.”

Season two, which premiered Wednesday night, begins with a rebooted Janet — as well as most of the cast — back to her automatic information processor.

But this time, Carden teased, “The Good Place” goes off the rails even sooner than the first season.
